Mary Agnes Alexander was an influential educator at Punahou School and an early advocate for including women and students in wartime service. She helped coordinate student efforts to support Red Cross work and promote Liberty Bond sales. Under her guidance, students knitted garments, collected donations, and organized patriotic events. Alexander’s belief in civic education emphasized the importance of youth participation in public service, and she helped shape a generation of young Hawaiians to see citizenship as an active responsibility.
